Let's see, Josh says his mind is right.

He has the physical abilities.

It's been five games.

Not sure how anyone could be out at this point.

Well, I don't want to say, I don't want to say I'm not sure.

I know how you could be out at this point.

It's that you watch the game. As Chris Carter said on Twitter, do you watch the 59 minutes? Yeah, I mean, if you watch the 59 minutes, you could be out on J.J. McCarthy. I mean, it's not fair to him to call it after five games. Of course it's not. But we also can't be like,

eh, I didn't see anything. Did you see anything? I mean, when the numbers are what they are,

you have to feel like red flags are up. There's no way for me not to. Um, to just, we can't just

stick the head in the sand and be like, I don't know, wake me up in the end of 2026. I'm sure this will be okay.

When you're talking about performances like this, with this many turnovers,

this low of completion percentage, you start to get into a world of comparable quarterbacks

It's sort of like when a team drafts a guy that weighs 140 pounds,

you're like, could that work?

But what are the odds at some point, right?

The Vikings are 6.5 point underdogs.

Would a win get you back in to thinking about the playoff race, the season back on?

Would it get you fired back up for this team?
